    Paddling Clear Creek Reservoir
    Cindy M.

    This rating is for paddling Clear Creek Reservoir only. McHood Park is a humble start to this beautiful, cool adventure. The landscape becomes more beautiful, the deeper in you paddle. Light traffic on a September Tuesday. Wind picks up in the afternoon.

    This park is a nice hidden oasis in the middle of the desert, nothing big but great for kayaking, small boats, fishing, day and night camp. Has RV park next to water with picnic table and fire ring. They have bathrooms and showers but I didn't adventure to check them out. Water looks deep for a good dive in the summer and place is pretty much in a good shape and clean. We did night camp on Easter weekend and we were pretty much by ourselves, maybe 4 more travel trailers . $15 per night and $7 for day stay. You pay at the kiosk in the entrance with card. Has a playground and a few ramadas. Just a few minutes from the city but quiet and awesome stars at night.

    What a pleasant surprise in the middle Of the high desert! The plan for the day was breakfast in Winslow then off to Meteor Crater. My husband remembered that clear creek reservoir was nearby so on the way back to Happy Jack we stopped here to check it out. Great little park for the kids, restrooms, tons of table seating to set up lunch. The water was beautiful and the views were perfect. Such a gem! I highly recommend for families that like to go off the beaten path.

    A great little spot to bunk down.

    Wonderful little spot. Clear water, nice and peaceful. People seem to keep to themselves. No riff raff in

    Nice cast display of Jackson Browne (Song Writer) & Glenn Frey (Singer) and the tribute to the…read moreEagles "Standing on the Corner" in Winslow, Arizona.It was a fine sight to see! No girl in a flat bed Ford though. My husband was bummed about that! LOL However, there is a big Route 66 emblem in the middle of the intersection & a historic building. If you are an Eagles and Glenn Frey fan this is worth the time to visit this display. Right across the street is a fabulous gift shop for great souvenirs and more. This is the best place for the price. We picked up a few t-shirts, guitar picks and presents for some of our other groupies. Winslow is a very small town. There isn't too much to do here, so could only imagine what it would have looked like back in the day when this iconic song was created. **Fun Fact- the original version was based off of Jackson Browne actually being stranded in Flagstaff but Glenn Frey changed the lyrics to Winslow as it was a better fit rhythmically & vocally. The locals are super friendly. Take it easy and enjoy the Route 66 appeal. Encourage visiting the 9/11 Remembrance Garden and the Old Trails Museum while exploring this legendary spot.

    The famous song ("Take it Easy ") is 54 years old and the "park" (really just a couple of statues,…read moreon a corner) is still pretty busy. Fun fact: the Eagles made the song famous but Jackson Browne wrote it. Free street parking everywhere. Winslow isn't very big. Such a fine sight to see.

    If old enough, everyone knows where you were during the infamous tragedy of 9-11. Every 9-11…read morememorial I've experienced regardless of dimension or scale forthwith touches my heart and spirit. Here in Winslow AZ stands a memorial to the Victims of that day. It is not massive, it is not large, but is a somber reminder, simply constructed in an open park just as you enter the city. It calls to you as you ponder the fateful day. Pieces of the towers are on display in the most honorable way, allowing you to touch the souls we lost.

A good friend of mine lost her father that dreadful day back in 2001 and all the emotion is still there, especially after talking to my friend on this 20 year anniversary! When Winslow received the beams back in 2002, at the original location on the corner of Route 66 and Transcon Lane, I was there! I was amazed that Winslow received two of the beams from the World Trade Center and why did Winslow receive them? Because they asked! With teamwork from the City of Winslow and the Walmart Distribution Center in Buckeye, the steel girders were delivered within hours of the first anniversary ceremony of this tragedy! Since then, they have been moved to this park location on Route 66, the Mother Road, which is much better and safer for viewing. When we have out of town visitors, this is a definite must see! When I visit the beams, my eyes swell up and when you touch them, you can truly feel the energy these beams carry! The flag at the Memorial was flying over the Pentagon that day and this is stated on the Remembrance Garden plaque. The plaque also states "the words 'United We Stand' remind the world that we will not fear terrorism. We hereby dedicate this garden to Northern Arizona's promise that 'WE WILL NEVER FORGET'."! This Memorial not only shows that our unrelenting heroism and self-sacrifice has never wavered but it is a perfect symbol to show that terrorism, of any kind will not be tolerated, that democracy will prevail and that indeed, WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
